Summary

Millions of Americans suffer from depression and anxiety. The exact causes of these conditions are not definitively known, but they can be treated effectively with medication, counseling, and other methods. Because the severity of these illnesses varies and individuals react to medications differently, pharmaceutical companies have developed many different drugs for these conditions. These medications affect a variety of biochemical pathways and areas of the brain and are typically used in conjunction with counseling and therapy. Antidepressants and Antianxiety Drugs explores the benefits and drawbacks to these drugs.
